Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 18, 1906.

Application filed May 19, 1906. Serial No. 317,803.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Beit known that we, CHARLES J osEPn Hon- MANN, residing at 92 Jamaica avenue, and O'rro IIOHMANN, residing at 72 Downing street, Brooklyn borough, in the county of Kings and State of New York, citizens of the United States of America, have invented new and useful Improvements in Non- Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to bottles, and more particularly to that class which after receiving its liquid contents then has a device placed within its neck which will allow the liquid to be poured out, but prevents any other liquid being pooured into the bottle. These and other features of the invention are described more fully in the following specification and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification and accompanying it the same ref erence characters are used to indicate like parts in the several views.

Figure 1 is a sectional view of our improved device, showing the bottle in its upright position. Fig. 2 shows the position of the parts when the bottle is tipped up to pour out its contents. Figs. 3 and 4 are side elevations of certain details.

The bottle, as shown, is provided with a neck 5, having at its lower end, where it is joined to the bottle, a contraction 6, and into this contracted portion is forced a cork jacket 7, which surrounds a thimble 8, and through this thimble plays a tube 9, open at its lower end and having at about its central point one or more openings 10. This tube 9 is closed at its top and carries thereon a bell shaped washer 11, of flexible material, which depends from the said top and makes contact with the upper edge of the thimble 8. In that part of the neck above the jacket is arranged a glass tube 12, secured therein by cement or otherwise, and at its upper end a ring 13, in which is fitted a cap 14 with lateral perforations 15.

When it is desired to remove the contents of the bottle, the neck is turned downward,

when the tube 9, assisted by a weighted ring 16 on its lower end, slides through the thimble 8, allowing the opening 10 to pass beyond the upper edge of the thimble, so that the liquid in the bottle freely passes from the opening 10 into the space within the tube 12, from whence it passes out of the perforations 15 and into any receptacle that maybe awaiting it.

When the bottle occupies the position shown in Fig. 1 it will be clearly seen that any liquid which may be poured into the mouth of the bottle will find its way from the perforations 15 and into the tube 12, but the washer 11 prevents any of the liquid from working its way down through the space between the lower tube and the thimble 8, and it is evident that no liquid can therefore be returned to the bottle on account of the return of the small tube 9 to its original position within the bottle itself.

It is obvious that minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the essential features of the invention, as shown and described.

Having described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a bottle the combination with a neck having a tube adapted to be secured therein, carrying a thimble at its lower end and having perforations at its top, of a second tube adapted to slide within the thimble and having openings adapted to enter the larger tube when the bottle is reversed and the smaller tube slides through the thimble.

2. In a bottle, the combination with a neck carrying a tube adapted to be secured therein and having perforations at its top, of a second tube having one or more openings in its side and one end open within the bottle, and a thimble carried at the lower end of the first tube through which the second tube is adapted to slide when the position of the bottle is reversed.

3. In a bottle adapted to be prevented from being filled after the original liquid is withdrawn, the combination with a neck contracted at the bottom of a tube fitting in said neck having an opening at the bottom and a perforated top, of a thimble at the contracted part of the neck, and a second tube having a closed top and open bottom and one or more perforations in its side and adapted to slide through the thirnble when the position of the bottle is reversed.

In testimony whereof We affix o'ur signatures in presence of two Witnesses.
